No, Recommends do not create 'dependencies'. > Installing redmine alone most of the time leads to an unuseful installation, > while installing e.g. redmine-sqlite alone won't install anything, just > dependencies. > My bet would be removing the dependency in the e.g. redmine-sqlite, but > i'm quite stuck with the chicken-or-egg myself :) Given that the redmine-db are only meta-packages, I would change redmine to only Recommends redmine-sqlite|redmine-mysql|redmine-pgsql (without version), and change the redmine-db to depend on the correct version of redmine. There is not much point forcing user to install a meta-package anyway. Cheers, Bill. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
